directions
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
- Cut a slice from the top of each tomato.
- scoop out insides of tomatoes and mash with hands.
- In a skillet, heat butter and sauté onion, garlic and sausage meat until it is brown and crumbly.
- Stir in tomato pulp and simmer for ten minutes.
- Remove Sausage Mixture from pan, put into a big bowl.
- Add bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and cheese, mixing well.
- Add as much cheese as you would like.
- You may not need all the tomatoe pulp either.
- The final mixture should be kind of sticky, but easily formable.
- Place tomato shells in a shallow baking dish and fill with sausage mixture.
- Bake in for thirty minutes.
- I find that the left over sausage mixture can be put in between the tomatoes, just to bake.
- I also put grating cheese on top of the tomatoes before baking.
